Two BRAND NEW Drawing Pens That Blew My Mind!! Art Haul and Art Supply Recommendations!

Love when you leave in the drawing part. I understand your reasoning for getting looser but please don't leave your realism fully. It does have so very much life and soul to them. Perhaps finding a way to remember what gave you happiness and joy in the beginning might help you see it more.

Any day works for me amy, you & your family come first always.

Change the time. I often dont see you until later. Love these pens. All artists evolve so can you. Enjoy and do what you want.

Micron pens come in a pack of various widths. They dry in less than five minutes

Your flamingo looks really nice in those colors. The day of the week really doesn't matter to me. I'll watch whatever day it comes out.😊

Amy, you got your juu juu back 😊👍!

Thursday or Friday is ok with me. 😊 Those pens are really nice. Always fun to try new art styles. Do whatever makes you feel happy! ❤

Carbon platinum is a great fp ink, just don't leave it in a super pricey pen forever. I also like platinum pigment inks in sepia and blue... mixed with the carbon you can get your perfect paynes gray or off black. DeAtrimentis document inks are also excellent. Rohrer & Klingner sketch inks are mixable and fab, especially for bright color and I've had no feathering with calligraphy brushes or dip pens as long as the paper is suitable. I have several Sailor fude de mannen bent-nib pens that don't dry out even after a couple months with these inks... though I do give them a thorough cleaning before reinking if I let them sit for ages. I like the angle of the green pen, and once I got through the learning curve I'm totally in love with them for sketching.
So glad you're coming back into the joy zone with your work! Take care of yourself and family first. We'll be happy to see your vids when it's convenient for you to load them, and seriously, if any of your viewers require a more structured experience I bet they can find that on your patreon. 😉

This video makes me wanna go sketch and get my paints out right now! So real, and enthusiastic! I REALLY enjoy doing line and wash art and it’s nice to have more pens to add to my pen case!

I’ve never used white gel pens with my paintings and have always been “afraid” of adding something other than watercolor to my art.

But as you mentioned, there are no rules. I may have to start dabbling in mixed media and also get a white gel pen. I love the way it looked for that window trim. Great art as usual! Upload whenever you need, I watch when I can anyway with kids and everything so day and time doesn’t matter to me.

Take care of yourself and family first, upload whenever you want! Great video Amy, thank you!

Hullo Amy, SO glad your doing better and enjoying yourself a bit too! I do hope your Patreon is doing well and that you are getting enough support over there too! I have been using the Acurit technical pens or India-ink dip pens or platinum carbon ink in fountain pens for waterproof inks! I have been at this for quite some time and it was a chore getting myself to use pens other than dip and India-Ink! Nice video I am enjoying watching your videos. Thanks for posting such wonderful content!

Being retired, all seven days of the week are Saturdays/Sundays to me, so it makes little difference which days you upload. However, I do agree with what many others have said that health, family and your own art journey should be top of your priority list when allocating your time - and if that means uploading on a mid-week day, so be it. Those pens look promising in terms of line & wash and i hope they work really well for you. I'm currently using a mix of fountain pen (with Noodlers Bulletproof ink), Faber Castell Pitt liners & Sakura Pigma liners but at some stage I might try out one the drawing pens you featured in the video. Incidentally, I've already commented on your announcement on Instagram, but congratulations again on reaching 10,000 subscribers - it's a very well-deserved reward for all your hard work! Kind regards, Brian.

They turned out really well! I really like your pen and ink drawings! Any time you post is fine.

Great information and video, thanks! In regards to posting schedule, I think whatever is convenient for you is just fine.

Great video! Love your ink and wash paintings.

Hi Amy, anytime you post is fine…family always comes first…our kids grow way too fast so cherish time with them and hubby first. I can’t wait to find these pens and try them. I have a fountain pen I love but these will be better to travel with so I don’t have to bring extra ink.
Ps…I love the way the houses look like faces😁

The problem is that toxic jerks ruin everything that online. I'm sorry it got to you! Us normal people are supportive and positive! The toxic jerks can leave now!

I’m curious why you feel the need to go over your pencil drawing with black ink. For me that kills some or all of the spontaneity from the get go which seems at odds with injecting more personality and life into your work. To me this is the difference between illustration and fine art (I make mixed media art so am not opposed to pen, that’s not the issue). I appreciate your desire to add yourself into your work which is part of what keeps art alive, this is just food for thought along those lines. Try leaving your pencil drawing as is, and omit the drawing altogether and dive right in, it doesn’t get any better than the joy of making art! 😊

You pick the day to post. I will still watch you!
A suggestion: pen and water soluble graphite pencil demo please.
Love watching you and the knowledge you impart 💜

Love to see your sketching. And family is more important then you tube

Love this!!

I don’t use a wide variety of ballpoint pens but every one I’ve used has been waterproof. Is that rare?

Excited! I will have to try them.

Give us an update how they perform after drawing over watercolor a few times. I've had my nibs clog up when drawing over dried watercolor with other brands. It's as if the ink reactivated the watercolor and it clogged them...

Not to change the subject on your video but I was in the market for new printers, are yours you recommended last year still holding up? If not do you have a recommendation for another

Ames... your heart spoke true throughout this sesh, we all feel the authenticity of yr delivery....you could paint doorknobs & we'd be all over it because it's less about the subject than the artist growing before our eyes & simultaneously giving all of us permission to keep growing too.... Yr healing is our own... ty for all of it... !!

YES….UNI always have been my fav!

I've been using the Uniball vision Deluxe Micro and fine for over 20 years...they have red and blue too...and the DELUXE...version...was fancier looking , though the same as the regular...love to try your jet pen by uniball...what line thickness is it...or just comes in one? thanks ...love this paintings...very nice Amy...thank you for showing...Janis

Whatever works best for you with the video is best for us. Thanks!

The Vision micro has been my favorite for years. Thanks for sharing about the Jetstream, I didn't know it's waterproof too, the line looks a bit thicker on that one. Any day you post works for me, enjoy your family time

The time switch works for me. Family is ultra important and I think that is your priority.

I like it when you leave the sketching it. Something therapeutic about watching someone sketch.

Uniball vision is my go to non fancy pen

Will you be selling prints of the cabins and the boats or perhaps a 2025 calendar of some of your sketch book works? I would be really keen to purchase, not sure about anyone else? Just a thought. Love your style! Carla

Family time zips by so quickly. Enjoy and appreciate the stages as your family grows. Then the memories banked will add to 6our creativity. Your audience is probably in a variety of time zones and will watch when the videos fit into their time. My youngest grandchild is about to be 17. We had grand times but they pass so quickly. Enjoy and it will flow into your work..

I love the Uni signo pens. I'm definitely going to try these out 😊

I enjoy your freedom to express your own art work and your feelings about what you like... freedom to be... is more enjoyable to watch...

Been using vision pen for a very long time…..Uniball great pens🎉🎉🎉❤️

Anytime you want to post is good with me

I only found you today!! 😃Family time first, every time!!

Spending time with family is important so do it we will be fine with it

Nice
You need to fix the lighting

I really like your channel!

First of all Saturday: you absolutely want to prioritise spending the time with your family -- that's like a weeks worth of stress relief and chilling all in one go. Everything you put out for you art is wonderful, inspiring and I love you videos. To help you really embrace the loose sketching that you've found you're needing at the moment: I recommend TobySketchLoose, you'll be able to chill watching his videos or more likely you'll be wanting to pull out a sketchbook. Take care of yourself and best wishes

Your enthusiasm and joyfulness over ink pens is infectious and a pleasure to watch. I , myself, have a erm…”problem” when it comes to collecting art supplies so I totally get it! 😂 I have so many I’ve never even used! (But I plan to eventually)! I suffer from a hyper active desire to do it ALL, and very low impulse control. 😂 But even the art supplies I have yet to use just make me happy when I look at them, lol. I once read a little art meme that said “collecting art supplies and using art supplies are two totally different things.”. That made me smile because I knew there were kindred spirits out there. But I’m starting to ramble…. The point of this post was to let you know that I enjoy your presentation style. You come across so natural and real. Not to mention you produce lovely pieces of art! And as far as changing your posting times, I don’t personally think it matters and I think most of your viewers agree. Just keep doing what you love! 🥰 We’ll be there to watch whenever it comes out. 😊 Have a great day! ❤

Put your family first - always!

Jeeze, sometimes we are our own worst enemies - it happens - BUT you caught yourself & are correcting that! Go girl! Do what feels good & it will show in your work. I love what you are doing - thank you for sharing. I use the Uniball micro - haven’t tried the other but hope to.

This is excelent!!! I would really like to know what that white liner is!!!

Since I’m retired and never know what day it is anyway, anytime that is best for your family would be fine by me.
Sorry to hear or your hard month-yes, keep the faith, not all months are bad , not all years are good. I’ve had a bad 2024 also-I lost my mother, my husband died in my arms (thankfully he was revived by a quick rescue squad response), I have MS which gives me struggles daily. Keeping the faith is our lifeline. I love to see your sketching.
You’re doing a great job-do the things you love and it will transfer your enjoyment to us!

Family time is especially important. Post when you can. I love watching your videos. The hauls are so great. You get so excited and make it fun for me at home.
